#24 Purdue v Robert Morris
Purdue did very well in the Charleston Classic losing to a very good VaTech team who came out of the half hot while we grew more and more cold. Now with that done and over with, Purdue has a breather game of sorts when it plays host to Robert Morris

Verdict
As I said in the beginning, this should be nothing more than a tune up game for us. During the championship game against VaTech, we went cold plain and simple. Carsen tried but just couldn't seem to create a spark on offense. Foul trouble also killed us with Cline one of our best perimeter shooters having 3, as well as Eiffert. Eastern and Wheeler both had 4. But looking at The Colonials schedule so far, they haven't really played anybody. They've played some lower conference teams, and a Div III school. their only challenge came at the start of the season against USC in which they lost by 21 points. As long as Carsen and Cline have great days and shots fall, this will be a long day for the Colonials. Purdue
